For the growing crisis in Ukraine, it is important to remember the life of a man who brought the people of Czechoslovakia out of the oppression of the Soviet Union and played a major role in setting up not just one, but two pulsating European democracies: the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The creator of the bust will be the Czech-American sculptor Lubom\u00edr Jane\u010dek, who is the author of the bust of the President in the Strasbourg seat of the Council of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>This tribute to Vaclav Havel comes at a time when the Czech Republic celebrates its 15th anniversary of the country&#8217;s accession to NATO and the unveiling of the bust is scheduled for autumn this year to mark the 25th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An important event of this year in relation to the legacy of V\u00e1clav Havel is the decision of the House&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":9793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
